- Summary:
-
"The dichotomy between equality and difference is a central issue in both feminist and education debates. Georgina Tsolidis examines this dichotomy with particular reference to gender, ethnicity and schooling and argues that in the context of reformist education policies targeting gender equity and the affirmation of cultural difference, the schooling experiences of ethnic minority girls provide insights into ways of challenging this dichotomy. School-based case studies challenge the predominant view, that these girls are victims of a culture clash which establishes a 'minority as backward, majority as enlightened' binary. The book concludes by exploring the practical implications with regard to both curriculum and pedagogy."--BOOK JACKET.
